Words from the founder of Fresher Together, Chef Fresh Roberson
.
In August 2018 I sat in this living room at Soul Fire Farm and dreamed about what Fresher Together could be.
Dreamed about what it would look like to create a space upon which I could bring my full self and do the work I've been called to do. What a space deeply rooted in my people thriving together could be like if I created a space where all of me could show up. I pulled together all the things I had ever dreamed about and had a new sense of clarity and urgency that this work could not wait.
Soul Fire Farm gave me a space, a new home, I needed, and showed me that we could be centered in this work in a real way.

At the time I was burned out, exhausted, and in an abusive situation with my work and how I cared for my well-being. While there, I was reminded of the healing and nourishment that has always occurred when I was on land and that I deserve all that nourishment for myself and my people. My ancestors spoke to me and their resilience and survival, connection to the earth, and nourishment guided me to what was next. I first formed the sentence " a collaborative food project for healing, economic development, training, and retreat" sitting on the floor in this room the night of our Action Planning workshop. It was like a seed braided in my hair for my journey back to the grind, to a different unknown. A seed...One that the earth has been making space for, that has been planted and watered and given sun. I've been finding the support and community to nourish it... And it is starting to germinate... A new beginning... It's coming... we are who we've been waiting for #freshertogether

We often think of our work in four pillars “Build. Grow. Cook. Heal”.
We have four main pillars that frame our work: Build. Grow. Cook. Heal. Each focus on an area that we feel is critical for food system shifts and fostering our pathways to collective freedom.
Creating Equity
Fresher Together is dedicated to creating equity across food and agricultural systems.
Our work centers LGBTQ+, Black and communities of color, elders, and youth with a commitment to making nutritious food accessible to all.
We value collaboration, community, well-being, freedom, and innovation.
